If an old car finished 2nd... I wonder what Honda will whip out when they bring out the next car. When I say old, I mean a car with an engine/body that was designed more than 5 years ago.
Thats cool.

Rep Power: 336 everyone is keeping up with honda. when 2000 eval came up honda same in third or something. then the 03 came up and they were first. and now second. thats cool after 5 years of the same thing. so, in saying this, i can't wait till the 06 does some spanking.
I test drove the 3 extensively, and almost bought one. The biggest problem wasn't the car-it was the dealers-they are jerks.
They kept telling me that "this is the hottest car in America" and "if you don't buy it, someone else will in a few hours" They wouldn't even give me invoice, even though they would get a $600 holdback.
This kinda thing fuels their arrogance.

Rep Power: 0 I was told the same thing at several Honda dealers when I bought my 01. I had to visit every dealer in Cleveland before I would find one that would even let me test drive the car. The dealer I ended up at was awesome, and ended up getting my money.

Personally, I think she was turned-off by the arrogance of the sales person we had. I mean, they weren't even willing to budge on the price and were treating us like beggers when we asked about a recent ad which appeared in our local newspaper. Their arrogance lost them a sale, and I am now on my 5th Honda. I am not biased nor a die-hard honda fanactic as my daily driver isn't even a Honda, but I feel that you can't go wrong with a civic if you want afforable, dependable transportation.

Rep Power: 336 well, when i was buying mine it was the only one on the lot with the stuff i wanted. ex with all the options except the fog lights and it was a stick. the dealership knew they would sell it to someone if not me, but they still did not rape me. salesman let me learn to drive a stick all over again while i was test driving my car . lol. so i bought it cause they were decent to me. and i like it still.

Rep Power: 360 I do believe the 06 civic will step up to the level of the mazda 3 and either be as good or better. i have been in a 3, and driven it. it is a much better car than our 7th gens all around but the 8th gens should be about as good. i have faith in honda.
Reasons 3 >7gc
greater horsepower
better gearbox options
better interior materials
better brakes (all disc)
but the civic still looks better, especially the trunk!

Rep Power: 347 I bet every other manufacturer is waiting to see how the Civic will change. Everyone aims for the Civic and mentions it in their commercials when comparing cars in that segment.

Rep Power: 360 probably. Although mazda raised the bar with the 3. its a very nice car for what it is! no doubt about that. 06 civic hopefully can hold up / beat it.
